Geyatautsilvsgi 23 Posted Thursday at 08:12 PM Hi, I have a question. Has anyone ever made a casement window in chief with "prairie" style windows? In all my years of working with chief, I have never been able to do it in chief automatically or naturally. I have always had to fake it in the 2D detail or elevation views. It works great with a single hung or double hung window but not with a casement because the entire window section is operable not just one half like the SH/DH windows. IF anyone has ever made one, I would definitely like to know how. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alaskan_Son 2599 Posted Thursday at 08:35 PM Definitely need some clarification on this one. Probably best to post an image of what you're talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, no, the casement window itself has to be or look like a big "prairie" window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geyatautsilvsgi 23 Posted Thursday at 08:37 PM Although right now, I am not so sure my client understands what she's asking for. I appreciate all the responses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you post a sketch of what you have in mind, or an example from a previous project? Google didn't help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geyatautsilvsgi 23 Posted Thursday at 08:43 PM The attached window is the style she wants in her casements. In real life this can be done as a custom job. However, in chief, I have found that this canonly be achieved by using a single hung or double hung window. I have not been able to get this to work in a casement. thus the reason for my question. As I said, the one that Mr. Carrick posted is close only need to take up at least half the window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use Craftsman style grids and set Lites Across to 3 and Lites Vertical to 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geyatautsilvsgi 23 Posted Thursday at 08:45 PM This is a prairie style window, Crafts man is like the one that Eric posted previously. As I said, I am not sure that the client understands which style she wants. I've tried to explain the difference but... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geyatautsilvsgi 23 Posted Thursday at 08:51 PM So, its not really a "prairie" window at all but the craftsman. I've switched to using the craftsman style on the casement and it worked. That is nice. Thanks gentlemen for your assistance. I appreciate it. Have a fantastic rest of your day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
